Theory:

Magistral lectures.

In any case, the contents will be provided in advance through the Moodle Virtual Campus. The contents will be expanded as far as possible through web links. The contents will be provided prior to theoretical explanation sessions on essential aspects and resolution of doubts that will be carried out in person or virtually in the scheduled theoretical classes of the subject. A prior study by students is a must in order that the theoretical or doubt sessions to be fruitful. In addition, Question and Answer Forums will be established on theoretical topics.

Practicals:

In class with some exercises on various aspects related to the related practical issues. Practical exercises on the various aspects of the theoretical topics taught will be encouraged. In addition, forums will be also set up on practical topics.

Course work (in group of students):

Preparation throughout the semester, with a follow-up by teachers on demand from students (1 tutorial). The teacher may indicate the obligation or not to do this work and / or to make his presentation either with Power Point or Poster (will be communicated) in addition to written format. In this case both presentations will be evaluated.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

CONTINOUS ASSESMENT

2 partial exams

There will be 2 partial exams. The assessment is 40% of the total grade, in each case. Each test may include theoretical and / or practical aspects. Each test will score on 10 pt):

1st partial exam: Industrial Rocks ± Heritage Rocks. Theoretical and practical contents. Weight: 40% total grade AC

2nd partial exam: Industrial Minerals ± Heritage Rocks. Theoretical and practical contents. Weight. 40% total grade AC

If an student attends one of the partial exams, he/she will not be able to achieve the qualification non assesable, since each partial exam weight is already ≥ 35%.

Exercices:

The mark obtained in these partial exams will be complemented with the marks obtained in the exercises or theoretical or practical problems that may be raised with a fixed date of presentation also mandatory prior to the date of each partial examination.

Coursework / term paper:

For the term paper, the effort in the search for quality information, the degree of own elaboration of the content, spelling correction, care in the presentation, degree of group coordination and explication of all the credits of the materials used will be particularly valued (any work that does not contain all the duly accredited figures -author / s name and year of publication + citation in the bibliography and all citations in the bibliography section duly inserted in the text, may eventually be considered failed).The evaluation of this work will be 20% of the continuous evaluation mark. In case of non- assignment of this work, the marks of the partial exams will be weighted 0.5 instead of 0.4.

-Continuous assessment grade (grade AC) = (Grade 1 partial x 0.4) + (Grade 2 partial x 0.4) + (Grade Work contents x 0.1 or 0.2 -If there is no exposure -) + (Note Exhibition work x 0.1 or 0 if there is no exhibition)

To pass the subject for continuous assessment, the AC mark must be equal to or greater than or equal to 5 and the marks for each part must be higher than 3. The marks lower than 3 in a partial prevent the calculation of the AC mark. (not assessable) and the student must appear in the corresponding part of the final recovery test.

Final recovery test:

It will be necessary to recover any partial in which the qualification has been less than or equal to 3.

It will be possible to do either of the two parts (or both) to improve the final note of the asignatura. In the event that a lower grade is obtained than that obtained in the corresponding part, the average grade will be the final grade.

If in any of the parts the mark is still lower than 3, the final grade will be fail (in case of an average higher than 5 the mark will be reduced in this case to 4.9).

It will benecessary to notify in advance about the part or parts of the final test that will be done. The teacher will implement a list with a registration deadline for this exam. Students who have not passed the CA have the obligation to take the final test (partials not passed) and do not need to be notified to take this final test. Students who present themselves to improve their mark do have the obligation to notify and in the event that they do not do so, they may be excluded from the test for which they have not notified within the stipulated time.

In no case will there be a second final test of recovery, except for students who for a major and documented reason have not been able to attend any of the partials or recoveries.

All exams will consist of a test-type part with multiple-choice questions and a short-answer question section. For the objective part of the test-type part: Valid answered option: 1pt, unanswered option: 0pt, incorrect answered option: (- 0.25pt).
